Lin-Manuel Miranda is the musical mastermind behind In The Heights, Hamilton, and the music of Moana. He's also an author, activist, lover of hats, and generally inspirational human being. His social media is typically pretty positive and forward-thinking, and this year's New Year's Eve post was no different. He opted to inspire his followers to keep working by showing us all what his New Year's was like a few years ago.

Fans and followers were all about it:

It's weird. Some holiday, 6 years ago, you were writing a rap battle between two historical figures. And now, hundreds of thousands of people per day are singing and rapping along to it. Happy New Year, Lin!
